Time has once again gotten away from me, so these pics are a touch off.

Last season I took update pictures at Week 8 – 2 months into the Fuel Plan. This season’s pics are actually at Week 9, but still good for comparison sake I believe ;o)

2010 Season photos are on the left 2011 Season Photos w/ ball cap on ;o)

Well…..not far off the mark I’d say….but I could have “Forest-For-The-Trees” Syndrome too…..plus the photo angles, lighting – not to mention “tan” were most definitely NOT the same as last year…..anyway…..

I still need to get measurements…..so that may speak more to muscle gained from last season to this season.

REALLY?! C’MON??!!…..REALLY!!!

Yep, I know what ya’ll are thinkin’….there’s just NO WAY to satisfy that achin’ Sweet Tooth if you’re tryin’ to eat healthy and are trainin’ hard to chisel out and ultimately reveal the muscle you’ve been buildin’ in the gym.

Well, take a DEEP BREATH, now EXHALE and BELIEVE!!

2 WAYS to TASTEBUD TANTILIZATION

(& more to come….)

Sweet Potatoes Gone Wild!

Chocolate Cinnamon Sweet Potato Souffle

OR…..

Chocolate Cinnamon Sweet Potato Muffins

Chocolate Cinnamon Sweet Potato Pancakes

Hard to believe (again), but all three of these delicacies require the same 4 ingredients:

3 OZ of Sweet Potatoes

2 Egg Whites

1 TBSP Cinnamon

1/4 tsp of Super Dark Cocoa Powder

The only difference is that when you make the Souffle version you need to whip the eggs whites to a peak with a hand mixer and then add the Sweet Potatoes, Cinnamon and Cocoa Powder (mixin’ them in with the hand mixer).

Place the fluffy mix into oven safe dishes (such as the ones pictured) and place them into a pan that has water in the bottom (also referred to as a “water bath”). Bake at 350 degrees until somewhat “stiff” to the touch…approximately 20 minutes.

Otherwise, when makin’ the Muffins or Pancakes, you just whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl with a fork until well blended and either add to muffin pan (bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes), or pour “Pancake Style” into a hot skillet.
